Description
Dryads are plant elementals or tree spirits that protect and preserve important great trees or groves of trees. When their environments are threatened or endangered Dryads will lend aid or fight as necessary.
Society
Dryads have no society to speak of. Each one remains close to their protected grove unless on some kind of epic quest, so they rarely have opportunities to meet. Naiads sometimes befriend creatures of the forests, besides that they rarely have a chance to socialize.
